Strikingly Different Roles of SARS-CoV-2 Fusion Peptides Uncovered by Neutron Scattering

Andreas Santamaria et al.

Summary: This study investigates the role of SARS-CoV-2 Spike fusion peptides in cellular infection using neutron scattering and spectroscopy techniques. The findings reveal that calcium drives the fusion peptides to cross the host plasma membrane, while removal of calcium leads to peptide reorientation and significant changes in lipid properties. Combining with other regions in the fusion domain, the molecular events of cell entry by SARS-CoV-2 are proposed.

Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells

Cody B. Jackson et al.

Summary: The entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells is facilitated by the interaction between the viral spike protein and ACE2, leading to virus-cell membrane fusion, which has been extensively studied at the structural and cellular levels worldwide. This understanding has paved the way for the development of effective vaccines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the infection with SARS-CoV-2.

The COVID-19 pandemic: a target for surfactant therapy?

Ruud A. W. Veldhuizen et al.

Summary: The impact of COVID-19 has led to a search for effective treatment approaches, with exogenous surfactant being considered as a potential therapy for COVID-19 patients. The success of this therapy could be influenced by various factors such as mechanical ventilation strategy, timing of treatment, doses delivered, method of delivery, and preparations utilized. Development of enhanced preparations may improve the effectiveness of this treatment approach, and ongoing trials may provide valuable data and insights for further scientific understanding and improved treatment strategies.

Binding mode of SARS-CoV-2 fusion peptide to human cellular membrane

Defne Gorgun et al.

Summary: This study investigated the interaction between SARS-CoV2 FP and mammalian cellular membranes using molecular dynamics simulations, demonstrating that FP can deeply penetrate into the membrane and form stable bindings. Based on clustering analysis, it was proposed that the most deeply inserted membrane-bound form may represent the biologically relevant form more closely.

Human Surfactant Protein D Binds Spike Protein and Acts as an Entry Inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 Pseudotyped Viral Particles

Miao-Hsi Hsieh et al.

Summary: Human SP-D plays a significant role in immune surveillance against pathogens, particularly in protecting against SARS-CoV by recognizing the virus's spike glycoprotein. Studies have demonstrated the ability of SP-D to inhibit viral infection by interacting with specific strains, highlighting its therapeutic potential in combating respiratory viruses like SARS-CoV-2.

Y Binding of SARS-CoV-2 Fusion Peptide to Host Endosome and Plasma Membrane

Stefan L. Schaefer et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 virus uses the spike protein to attach to cellular membranes of its human host for membrane fusion during infection. Molecular dynamics simulations show that the fusion peptide (FP) can quickly attach to cellular membranes and form a strong anchor, necessary for membrane fusion. The mechanical stability of FP is attributed to a conserved disulfide bridge, allowing it to withstand forces greater than those required for membrane fusion.

Surfactant therapy for COVID-19 related ARDS: a retrospective case-control pilot study

Simone Piva et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that surfactant delivery through bronchoscopy at a dose of 720 mg in 150 ml normal saline is feasible and safe for COVID-19 ARDS patients. Surfactant administration did not cause acute decompensation, may reduce mortality and mechanical ventilation duration in COVID-19 ARDS patients. This supports the need for future randomized clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of meticulous sub-bronchial lavage with surfactant for COVID-19 ARDS patients.
